The aim of this work is to analyze, evaluate, and compare the technological and architectural
options to implement the core switches of the Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN). The …

The goal of this study is to develop an all-optical photonic network core that stretches as
close as possible to the end-user. A practical paradigm for achieving an agile all-photonic …

Optical switches are the key components in realizing reconfigurable all optical networks. The
deployment of optical switches (replacing the conventional electronic switches) at the …

A way of interconnecting output queued ATM switching modules together as a Clos-like
architecture to build very large ATM switching networks is proposed. Switching modules can …

The physical properties of different forwarding paths in photonic switches with shared
wavelength converters are considered to perform loss and signal-to-noise ratio evaluations …

We propose an efficient network architecture to implement optical fast circuit switching.
Future bandwidth abundant services such as Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) …

The Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN) uses Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) to better
utilize the bandwidth of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems. It uses agile all …

In this work, a number of optical switching testbeds and demonstrators are studied and
analyzed. The used methodology is as follows: firstly, the principal figures of merit (FOM) of …

We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
